Thanks again!

Thank you very much for going to the trouble of a photo comparison Is the gen on the left? Another member has advised the 11mm thick ZF Daytona (asia 23J non working chrono) http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=14273 Could I ask you what the thickness of your gen is? Thanks in advance Kind regards Ian

Thanks or the reply It says it's 13mm thick and I read the gen is 12.2 mm thick?

Hi Folks, Usually I go for the vintage models, but I recently met up with an old school friend and after a few beers we got chatting about hobbies. Anyway, to cut a long story short, we are think of buying these from Andrew: http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=14385 http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_6&products_id=14386 As I don't normally go for the modern rollies, I was wondering what you guys think of these watches and if there is anything we should be looking out for on the QC pics? Thanks in advance!!

Two beauties from Rolojack

or the sales section?

I need to get stronger glasses!

RJ fantastic! What are the build specs?

Vintage rollies and in particular 1016's got me into this game.... That's a great looking watch, I have the dome rather than the top hat too. I think Rolojack's work is the best and he is really easy to deal with. For such a simple looking watch it takes a lot of effort to get it right. Well done and have fun with it!

Thanks how do you orden from this factory?

Excuse my ignorance but whats JF?!

Hi Does anyone know if you can get your watch water proofed in the UK? Thanks!

Rolojack 5513

That's great thank you

Hi, It's my big five 0 this year and I am looking to buy a gen. I would like the datejust 1600 smooth bezel I am watching HQ Milton I have seen VRF, is this trustworthy or reliable? Are there any other vintage rolex dealers or finders (MyManMatt?) Cheers

Great watch DT! interesting thread too, i always thought the dial markers and hands discoloured with age. I personally prefer white markers but never thought it would be in keeping with a vintage watch. Going to have my 1016 and 5513 relumed white now you learn something new here every day!

Thanks for the advice and contact details!

Thanks do you have a contact email for TC? do you know how much they cost? cheers

Thanks for the replies/ comments when I received the watch from Trevor you could spin the bezel around it was so loose and the insert wobbled RA worked on the bezel. It is bi directional and operates on the auto lock system seen on vintage rolex sports models. It can't be moved freely you have to press it down to turn it then set it to the position you want. I think he did a great job on this The bezel is flush with the top of the bezel ring and no longer wobbles. RJ is going to shave the bezel insert so it is thinner and so will sit slightly inside the bezel ring instead of being flush with the top of it regardibg the hands if I were to change them would it be best to get TC hands? Thanks

Here are some close ups of the crown/ CG's as requested

Thanks for your kind comments i will take some more pics later!

Before I begin, I would like to say a really big thank you to all the members who have offered support and advice. There is so much readily available info on this site and on many occasions I have PM'd people who have come back to me quickly helping me clarify things that had been puzzling me for days! Rolojack did a 60's 1016 for me and was kind enough to advise on the spec on this 5513. Rolexaddict put the watch together as I really wanted the watch before Christmas and RJ wasn't free till January. I hope you'll agree RA did a fine job. Having said that I am sending to RJ in January anyway for him to cast his expert eye over it. Spec is Base watch 1680 from Trevor SK T19 crystal Athaya 702 crown and tube Yuki dial I have been a member for a few years and visit everyday. I feel a bit guilty that to date I have not contributed much! Anyway, onto the pics and enjoy my first post!

Hi I have a 60's 1016 from Rolojack that I am very happy with but would like to build an 80's 1016 with White lume Does anyone know how close to gen spec the JMB V2 case is to an 80's 1016? Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas!

Loving my Rolex Addict 5513!
